Waiting on Wednesday: Rise of Fire by Sophie Jordan

My TBR list is always growing and I thought it would be fun to share my anticipation for those books with all of you. This is not my own original meme; it belongs to Breaking the Spine. It specifically spotlights upcoming releases. As it implies in the title, I'll be posting this meme on Wednesdays. Please feel free to comment and let me know what books you guys are waiting on as well!



Rise of Fire by Sophie Jordan
Publisher: HarperTeen
Expected Pub. Date: February 7th, 2017
Buy it: Amazon | B&N | Book Depository
The richly suspenseful sequel to Sophie Jordan’s romantic fantasy Reign of Shadows.

Luna and Fowler have escaped the kingdom of Relhok, but they haven’t escaped the darkness. When a battle against the dark dwellers mortally injures Fowler, Luna is faced with a choice: put their fate in the hands of mysterious strangers or risk losing Fowler forever.

Desperate to keep the one bright part of her life alive, Luna accepts the help of soldiers from a nearby kingdom. Lagonia’s castle offers reprieve from the dangerous outside world—until the king discovers both Fowler's and Luna’s true ties to Relhok and their influence over the throne.

Now pawns in each kingdom’s political game, Luna and Fowler are more determined than ever to escape and build the life they’ve been dreaming of. But their own pasts have a tight hold on their hearts and their destinies. Luna must embrace the darkness and fire within her before she loses not only Fowler, but the power she was destined to inherit.

Guys, I need this book. Reign of Shadows is one of my favorite fairy-tale retellings and I'm dying to know what happens next!


I'm ready for more Fowler and Luna swoons and FEELS! I can't wait to read this one, guys. What about you? Have you read Reign of Shadows? If you haven't yet, check out my review of Reign of Shadows, maybe that will convince you ^_^



Sophie Jordan took her adolescent daydreaming one step further and penned her first historical romance in the back of her high school Spanish class. This passion led her to pursue a degree in English and History.

A brief stint in law school taught her that case law was not nearly as interesting as literature - teaching English seemed the natural recourse. After several years teaching high school students to love Antigone, Sophie resigned with the birth of her first child and decided it was time to pursue the long-held dream of writing.

In less than three years, her first book, Once Upon A Wedding Night, a 2006 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Nominee for Best First Historical, hit book shelves. Her second novel, Too Wicked To Tame, released in March 2007 with a bang, landing on the USA Today Bestseller's List.

  2. Adding this one to my TBR. It keeps popping up in my twitter feed but I didn't know it was a retelling and I didn't know it was book 2.

    I'm waiting on A SHADOW BRIGHT AND BURNING by Jessica Cluess.

  5. Ohh I won an arc of Reign of Shadows from you (thank you)! I should probably read it but I heard the ending's pretty cliffy? I will probably wait until this one comes out to read them both ;) I hope you love this sequel <3

  14. The cliffhanger in the last book was a killer, so I am really excited for this one! The cover is also a lot prettier then the first on in my opinion. Great pick!
